Ingenious French Clock.
A clock recently patented in France,

A clock recently patented in France,
is made in imitation of a ~tambourine, on
the parchment lead Of which is painted a
circle Of flowers corresponding to the
hour figures Of ordinary dials. On ex-
animation, two bees, one large and the
other small, are discovered crawling
among the flowers. The small bee runs
rapidly from one flower to another, com
plotting the circle in IN hour, while the
large one takes twelve hours to finish the
circuit. The parchment surface is UNI
broken, and the bees simply laid upon it,
but two magnets, connected with the
~clockwork inside the %tambourine, move
just under the membrane, and the insects,
which are of iron, follow them.

Is there any mcaus of Strengthening
legs when once they are crooked2' asked
a New York Sun reporter of a we'll
known surgeon. who replied:
Yes, and by a very simple process.
The curvature in bow-leggcd persons is
usually just below the knee. To remove
1t we take a piece out of the outside bone
that Is, he. couvex side-ahd then
break the bone on the other side. This
enables Us TO make the leg properly
straight Ivy using still splinis, and it
isn't long before tie legs arc all right
again and as straight a can be desired.
In knvck-kneed persons the curvature is
above the knee, and the same process
can be used. 1t is not SO often done,
however, IS few people care to have the
thigh bone broken merely to increase
their personal beauty"
Then You often cure bow-legged men

FARM M GARDEN.
Bees Injuring Grapes.

The Columbus Horticultural Society
reports to the Country Gentlemon ali ex-
pertinent performed by Mr. McLain, of Au-
rora. IL In a grape-house well ventilated,
but bee proof, he places grapes and other
ripe fruits, sound as well as imperfect.
Three colonies Of hungry bees. higed on
empty combs, were placed within. They
visited thcfrlit in great numbers, and
took advantage Of every crack or open
ing OF accidcntal puncture. They never
molcstcd sound fruits If the skin OF a
grape Wis broken or burst from over
ripeness, the bees sucked the exposed
juices. They did not attempt to break
the skin, Tie experiment was contin-
.ucd thirty-day~, with twenty sorts of
grapes, with same result. When grapes
were puuctured With needles, the bees
sucked the juice out only 50 far as they
could reach.

Valuable Points Concerning Hay.

ricultural COLLEGE; give, the following
excellent suggestions in regard to keep

talns in the dry; Us well as in tho grecn,
state matter that is soluble in waite. For
this reason all exposed hay on the exte-
rlor Of stack, is >Ibjcct t. haying washed
from ii much soluble matter. In round
stacks the mount Of hay thus exposed
is much larger than Is usually supposed.
A body only foot in diameter O IN
tains one fourth the matter that a body
two fcrt in diameter does. A stack of
hay tHc.Fc feet in diameter and SIX feet
to the point IF its drawing.in and five
feet more u the top Of its cone, will con
tain on is outside foot, at 40 feet tothc
ton, 29G.51 pounds Of hay, while the in
terior will contain 5-0.40 poun Is. Thus
50 per cent Of the hay Of the ordinary
round stacks Of the State is found on
the outside foot Of those stacks. A
heavy proportion Of this food is obvious

IMPRACTICAL
ATKIESOK'S PLAN OF ANNBXTION.
Prominent New EnglsndeS Discuss the
Question.
THEY FAVOR COMMERCIAL UNION,
Which is Believed viii Lead Up TO
Annexation.

PORTLAND, Me, November 19.-The
Argus publishes over three columns of in
terviews with Portland business men on
the proposal of Edward Atkinson, of Bos-
ton, to settle the commercial relations dis
pute by purchasing the maritime provinces
for $50, 100000. Mr.. Atkinson's PROPOSE
tion is generally considered impracticable
on the ground that Great Britain would
not be likely to sell.
The gentlemen who are for annexation,
but do not believe it possible at present,
and who propose commercial union. or
renewal OF reciprocity as substitute. in
clude the Hon. Geo. F. Talbot, ex-Mayor
Walker, Daniel W. True, James p. Bax-
ter, Gen. John Marshall Brown and
ex-MsyOr Deeting. General Brown,
speaking from a military point of view,
says that England will never consent to
surrender her great fortified stronghold in
Halifax. Fishing owners ridicule Atkin-
sons plan and declare that they have had
enough of Canada. Several gentlemen are
opposed to annexation, union or recipro-
city. The article gives all shades of
opinions, but brings out strong sentiments
in favor of reciprocity and freer trade rela-
tions. While deemiug the project of Mr..
Atkinson impracticable the Argus express
es the opinion, that the discussion begun
by him, will lead up to commercial union
and perhaps eventually to annexatitn. 1t
believes that the majority of Maine people
favor commercial union, but are iDdiller-
ent tOanneXatiOn.

A GREAT DEAL

To he Engineered by Won Der Abe and

PITTsBURG, November ia special TO
the ChronicIe Telegraph from st. Louis says:
President Won der Abe leaves for the
East tonight to dicker on one of the big
gest deals IN the Association for some time,
the exchange Of two players, likely Car
ruthers and Bushong, for George Smith,
the crack short stop of the Brooklyn club,
and 5000. He was asked to-day what
truth there was in the statement that Car
ruthers and Bushong would be traded for
Smith on those terms, and he replied
well yes; there was some truth in that
matter. Mr.. Byrne, the President of the
Brooklyns, and myself have had some
talk over such a trade. We have come to
no definite conclusion, however, and that
will he one of the objects of my visit
East. don't think ] would trade Ca
ruthers and Bushong for Smith and s., 600.
If Byrne wants the battery and thinks
Caruthers is worth coming after as ball
player, why il strikes me that he ought to
be willing TO put up some money for the
man. Smith is a great shOrtstOp, there is
no denying, and would help to strengthen
the st. Louis club considerably, hut
think that such deal as that mentioned
ought to have little more cash in it,"

OUR NEXT SENATOR.

The Washington Post yentilates Hon. ID.
b. Lucas View of the Matter.
Special Telegram to The Sunday Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 49,
The West Virginia Senatorial complication
is attracting considerable attention here.
This mornings Post, after reviewing the
history OF the contest at Charleston, last
spring. says: "Mr. Lucas tells us that the
constitution of West Virginia forbids a
Legislature, in extra session, to choose a
Senator, unless asked to do so in the Gov
ernor's proclamation. The complete an
swer to that, is, that the election of Sena-
tors in West Virginia is regulated and
governed by the constitution and laws of
the United States, and not the constitution
and laws OF West Virginia. Ordinarily, a
contest such as that of Mr. Lucas, would
be unworthy of notice, as it is certain to
be laughed out of court, but he puts it in
now, when he knows that it is of the ut
most Importance that every Democratic
Senator should be sworn in the first day
of the session. Nothing could be in worse
taste. The Democratic Legislature of
WSSt Virginia, with Governor Wilson'S
appointment of Mr.. Lucas in full view,
could have easily elected him, but
they declined to do so and chose Judge
Faulkner. Their decision will be con-
firmed by the Senate"

NAVY oFFICIALs SURPRISED.
The Atlanta's Commander Says She Il
Worthless as "A Cruiser,

The Atlanta's Commander Says She Is
Worthless as "a Cruiser.
WASHINGTON, November l9.-CaPtain
Bunce. commanding the Atlanta, has writ
ten letter TO the Navy Department, in
which he endeavors to prove that the YES
sci is practically worthless as q cruiser,
and is altogether unseaworthy.
This startling assertion occasions no
little surprise. The Captain claims that
his objections are based upon a dual expe-
rience with the Atlanta at sea. He has
discovered the vessel to be unsuitable for
the purpose for which she was built.
One Of the most startling defects to
which he calls att m is the line of fire.
The batteries, he 81, ~laced for head
on fire, while the Srmored for
broadside fights only. To- ed through
the side would be detected through by the
deck upward, and pass up out OF the ship,
but "a the guns can only be used for head
on fire, the projectiles of the enemy practi-
cally have free access to the yitals Of the
vessel. Ii is also serted by Captain
buuCS lual luo NCcoSi, ~ at piScSut Noh-
structed, with her low bulkheads, could
not live in a head sea. The water would
rush over her bow and bury her.
Captain Bunce claims that the guns fur
nished by the Ordnance Department are
much too heavy for the vessel. He reports
that the armament Of the vessel is so badly
assorted that six kinds of ammunition have
to be passed through the scuttle. The
\ lptain concludes that the vessel praCti-
cally requires reconstruction.
